Okay...would someone explain to me that when I fire my Saiga .223 (and .308), any and all bystanders feel that it is much louder than any of my other rifles? For comparison, I fired my AR w/ 16" barrel against my Saiga .223 (also w/ 16" barrel); same ammo. Others came by asking me what I was shooting? They couldn't believe it was a .223!

Just wondering....

I dont know. I think they are loud too. But then my 16" AR doesn't lean toward being silent either. :) It gets worse wit ha muzzle brake on too.

 

Just for comparison. My 16" AR when it had the Y comp brake on it was the absolute loudest rifle I have ever had, even with ear plugs. The Saiga was tolerable. I have another 20" AR, and it was quite a bit quieter than the Saiga. I notice the Saiga is still a little louder than the 16" AR still when shooting off the side of a pickup and it echoing back in the bed.

 

Maybe it has something to with the way the gas is used to cycle it?
